This is the sort of tease to a book that should be illegal! I did enjoy The Whisper Man, and while it's not my favorite thriller or anything it was easy to read and, when I recommended it to others, they enjoyed it as well. So of course I am eager to devour this next offering from Alex North. Firstly -- the cover is beautiful. And to just give us such a small taste without allowing us to read the rest right away is cruel, cruel, cruel. But I can officially say my attention is grabbed and I want to know more about these characters and this story.
